Boss, He’s Becoming a Father [Arc 1] Chapter 4.2: The Prodigal Son (9)
At this time, he actually admired the old man in front of him. After all, he was also a ruthless person, but deep down in his heart, he still felt that the old man had a bad mind and would abandon his son for his daughter.
“Don’t worry, there will be many people who dare to talk like this in the future.” Shao Yu replied nonchalantly.
Zhang Meng felt suffocated when he heard the words, and immediately took back the appreciation in his heart, only to think that this old man was particularly annoying.
“What do you want to play?” Zhang Meng asked confidently.
“It’s simpler, just play dice and guess the size.” Shao Yu said.
Zhang Meng paused when he heard this, and felt confused in his heart. People like them don’t carry anything with them, but they always carry a few dice. Shao Yu said this, which always gave him a feeling that the other party was well prepared.
Seeing that he was silent, Shao Yu pointed to the dagger in the servant’s hand and said, “You even carry this, but the guy who is eating doesn’t?”
“Okay, just gamble.” Zhang Meng said, secretly thinking that he was just a bad old man. He had been running casinos for so many years, could he still fall over today?
Shao Yu glanced at Shao Dabao again and said, “No matter what my son says, it doesn’t count. My daughter won’t get married today.”
Shao Yu tried his best to clear the connection between his daughter and Zhang Meng.
“Today I win and his gambling debt will be wiped off. If I lose, you can take away the Shao family’s shop and my son’s legs and feet. No matter whether I win or lose, my daughter has nothing to do with this.” Shao Yu said.
Shao Dabao weakly shouted: “Dad…”
Shao Yu ignored him.
At this moment, Zhang Meng only felt that he had a chance to win. He didn’t care much about this little detail, so he agreed. Instead, he suggested: “Winning or losing in one round?”
Shao Yu shook his head and said: “Two rounds, the first round is a betting contract, and the second round I want to bet on something else.”
Although Zhang Meng didn’t know why, he had never been afraid of gambling, so he didn’t refuse Shao Yu’s strange request and immediately took out a dice from his sleeve.
Before he was about to start, Shao Yu reached out to take the dice, weighed it casually in his hand, and said, “Let’s change it to another one.”
Zhang Meng was heartbroken, but he still took out another one honestly.
Shao Yu weighed it again and said, “Change another one.”
Zhang Meng immediately became impatient and said, “If you want to gamble, just gamble. If you don’t want to gamble, then don’t do so much!”
Shao Yu laughed and asked, “Do you really want me to say it clearly?”
Zhang Meng was stunned, and then said: “Forget it, just change it, I will let you, an old man, today.”
While speaking, he took out a new dice.
Shao Yu stretched out his hand again, but this time Zhang Meng didn’t give it to him. Instead, he said: “What do you want to see? What can you see? Don’t push yourself too far!
“Don’t you dare show it to me?” Shao Yu asked.
The onlookers who were watching the excitement were all craning their necks to watch the gambling game. Because of the several dice changes, they couldn’t help but be a little suspicious of Zhang Meng.
“Look at it, I’m afraid you won’t succeed!” Zhang Meng threw the dice on the ground.
The dice rolled around on the ground and fell at Shao Yu’s feet.
Shao Yu bent down to pick it up and said softly: “It only takes three.”
Zhang Meng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, Shao Yu picked up the dice and squeezed it lightly, and the dice split into two pieces, revealing a small black magnet hidden in the middle.
Everyone still didn’t know why, but then Shao Yu directly grabbed Zhang Meng’s right hand and put the dice close to his sleeve. After releasing his hand, the dice was still firmly attached to Zhang Meng’s sleeve.
How could everyone not understand such a straightforward and obvious demonstration.
“A cheating man is out. Surnamed named Zhang opened a gambling shop and turned out to be a cheating man!”
There are a lot of people who gamble in the neighborhood, but they won’t owe a lot of debt like Shao Dabao, but they also lose money to the casino.
At this time, seeing Zhang Meng’s trick exposed by Shao Yu, they were all filled with indignation, regardless of whether they had lost based on their own ability. They even began to calculate the losses of their brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces. They felt that it was all the gambling houses that had defrauded them of their money.
What’s more, even the money lost by other casinos was counted on Zhang Meng’s head.
Such a noisy situation was about to get in Zhang Meng’s face. In the end, the Zhang family brought enough servants and showed weapons to intimidate them, and they were able to barely suppress these neighbors who wanted to cause trouble.
“Can you gamble normally?” Shao Yu asked lightly.
Zhang Meng secretly resented, because of this incident, his casino is expected to endure criticism for a period of time, and his business will definitely be affected.
When Shao Yu asked again like this, he didn’t dare to continue playing tricks and immediately ordered his servants to buy a normal dice.
“This place is so close to your Zhang family gambling house, and you have to send someone to buy dice. Does it mean that there aren’t even any normal dice in the gambling house?” Shao Yu asked with a smile.
The neighbors, who had been suppressed before, started to make noise again.
Zhang Meng glared at him, but the servants had already skillfully stopped the troublemaking neighbors.
Soon, the servant who bought the dice ran back. This man ran in a hurry. When he came back, he was still out of breath. He asked Zhang Meng for credit and said: “Master, I didn’t dare to waste a moment and bought the dice.” I’m back, please try to see if it works.”
But such hard work only got Zhang Meng’s stare.
Zhang Meng directly handed the dice to Shao Yu and said, “Try again!”
After weighing it, Shao Yu nodded.
Zhang Meng wanted to take the dice over, but Shao Yu didn’t give it to him. Instead, he said, “I’ll roll the first round.”
“You can’t trust me?” Zhang Meng asked back.
“Isn’t this obvious?” Shao Yu said with a smile.
Zhang Meng froze. He had already noticed that Shao Yu was skilled in weighing the dice and was obviously an expert.
A true expert can spot a cheater at a glance, so he also knows how to cheat.
“I can’t trust you either.” Zhang Meng said.
Shao Yu then said: “Then just invite any neighbor to come over and sit down. I can’t trust the person you brought.”
Shao Yu directly blocked Zhang Meng’s escape.
Zhang Meng felt helpless when he heard the words, he was not familiar with the neighbors here, so he could only order a random person.
The neighbor who was selected had also lost money in the casino, but he was facing Zhang Meng alone at this time, but he was cowardly, and he did not have the attitude of clamoring for money before.
After finally getting this opportunity to sit on the bank, this neighbor didn’t act like a monster and just started rolling the dice honestly.
“You choose first.” Shao Yu said.
“Big.” Now that a stranger was sitting in the banker, and Shao Yu was keeping a close eye on him, Zhang Meng had no chance to cheat, so he could only guess the size honestly. “Big” was a lucky choice to him, so he didn’t hesitate at all.
“Then I choose small.” Shao Yu said.
He was strolling leisurely, as if he didn’t care about his shop at all.
Shao Dabao, on the other hand, had his heart in his throat. He was staring at the situation in front of him. This was a situation that could determine his life or death. However, the two parties involved in the situation… It’s all as casual as eating and drinking.
“Dad, do you, do you want to think about it again? These are my hands…” Shao Dabao changed his words under Shao Yu’s death gaze: “This is related to our shop.”
Shao Yu turned her eyes around and ignored his unfortunate son, but looked at the banker.
“Open it.” Shao Yu urged.
This neighborhood, who was temporarily acting as a banker, was inexplicably excited at this time, and the hand that opened the dice box was shaking.
No matter how much he trembles, the results in the box will not change.
One point is face up, which is “small”.
Shao Dabao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Meng’s eyes were sinister, but in full view of everyone, he still handed over an IOU and said, “I am willing to admit defeat.”
Shao Yu didn’t say anything, but signaled the dealer to continue the second round.
“What are you betting on in this round? Is it still the deed of this shop?” Zhang Meng asked, he wanted to find an opportunity to turn over the book.
Shao Yu shook his head and waved to Shao Dabao.
Shao Dabao escaped death and immediately floated up again. He came close to Shao Yu and said, “Dad, just bet on shops. Dad’s gambling skills are so good. Maybe you can win another seven or eight shops for our family.”
Shao Yu smiled and looked up and down this cheap son, his eyes stayed on his fingers for a moment, and then he pressed the man beside him.
“Bet on the little finger of his left hand.” Shao Yu said, pinching Shao Dabao’s little finger.
